@succucirno only if people would actively expose how censorship-happy the websites are

@lina The fedi would have helped get around much of the censorship that sites like Twitter, Reddit, etc. started to impose. Even calling someone "fatherless" could get you banned from Twitter.
All other alternatives were centralized and got attacked with webhosting and DNS providers pulling the plug. Basically the precursor to the backbone blocking websites like we see with Kiwi Farms.

@lina Twitter still is censor happy, just that it now applies both ways occasionally.
